Mota-Vational Quotes

"Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain!"

"The happiest people don't always have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have."

"Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."

4th of July 2013

We had a lot of fun this past 4th of July. We were lucky enough to have Nana (my mom), Shelly, Kaylin and Kinley come in for a fun visit! We had the day off Thursday and we relaxed at the house, played in the pool and BBQ'd. It was a fun day with the fam. That night we went to watch fireworks in McKinney. We didn't realize it, but we set up camp right behind where they were shooting off the fireworks! I'm not sure we've ever sat that close to a major show before. It was a lot of fun, even with the falling debri. Later we came home and the kids played with sparklers in the backyard. Friday I took the day off and we took the kids to Build A Bear, ate at PF Changs and took a much needed nap (rough day off)! ;) That night we took them to Gatti Town (the kids had a blast) and then went home, raosted marshmallows and built a fort for Preston and Kaylin to sleep in. They played in there for a while and then Steve and I ended up passing out in the fort with Preston. Good times all around. Love having family around to share in fun holidays! We missed sharing it with Riley and Drew, next time!
